Nanyang Junior College celebrates its 30th anniversary !

went to the 30th anniversary of NYJC on saturday 28.04.07, hoping to see some long lost classmates from the year 94-95, (gosh that's 12 years ago!)
some shoots of the new school compound!


the soccer field and its surrounding HDB blocks remains unchanged.

same old soccer field, i believe the school still let the public make use of its soccer fields during weekends, more school should do that too!
but the PE block disappeared, now replaced by tennis courts
along the corridor of the new 4 or is it 5? storey school complex





celebrations during the big day!





how the classrooms look like now, compared to my time, there is even a projector at the ceiling (not in picture)
the entrance off serangooon ave 3 , if u look carefully , you could see Mr Wan (chemistry) walking towards the speakers in the centre
teacher's office right opposite. this time i just strolled in to find my teachers, realised some has already left to another school or retired.
the time capsule was buried during 1993 , they are opening it in 2007. some old relics (wan tan mee bowls!,old class registers, class list of 1993!) are kept inside
from left : Koh Kian Hong, Zhuang Fook Ann, Lee Koon Heng ,Xu Wei Xiong (class of 1994-1995)
Mrs Heng (physics)
now the school so big liao!


big new benches, i still remember i used to sleep during laboratory sessions!
the laboratory block where all the labs are, think this one is chemistry lab
health and fitness room , where the air conditioned gym is , so shiok!
another shoot from the sports block view point
the MPH air conditioned!
Together We Build! school 's motto
quite a crowd at about 3 pm

Sawadeeka. My encounter with Thai Food

first served is this harmless looking papaya salad, but do not be fooled!
its extremely spicy, i repeat super duper hot! the tiny chilli padi seeds makes up for the full flavour.

next is the pineapple fried rice, lucky for me this one is not spicy, the prawns are good and fresh!
the kang kong (green veggie) is also good!
then the clear! tom yam soup. someone told me the clearer the soup the more spicy it is, and it really is hot!
the chai yen, the reddish looking drinks serves to soothe the burning tongues, but could do only so much to pacify the fire burning in ur mouths. it tastes like something of brown sugar and red tea.
no one could really finish the clear tom yam soup, and there was 2 bowls. the other is furthur down the table.
the usual chit chat after the dinner, wish there was a round table , could not really catch the stories that booest were telling
btw the restaurant is found inside golden mile complex at beach road, near the backend of the interior. i dun know the name of that restaurant either.
all these food for $122! projectile and booest in the linkie
